The 7 business schools where graduates earn over $150,000

If you're going to shell out tens of thousands of dollars, and in some cases, over $100,000,for business school, you're going to want a sizable salary postgraduation.

In a recent report, online lender SoFi highlights the 20 MBA programs that result in the highest average salary for graduates who are three years out of school. We've rounded up seven of these programs that lead to annual earnings of more than $150,000.

It's worth noting that many of the business schools that garner the highest salaries also come with hefty price tags, and they're not necessarily the best value. For that reason, we've included the average student debt three years after graduating and the salary-to-debt ratio.

To put these numbers into perspective, the average salary forall business school graduates is $86,919. The average student debt load is $70,164 and the average salary-to-debt ratio is 1.2.
